I've just reinstalled my kodi (messed some things up), and I'm trying to get meta to download to use in this guide.
Can anyone tell me if the repo is working ok, as I keep getting installation failed when trying to install meta

I just did a fresh portable install of Kodi Jarvis 16.1 Win32 and Meta from repository.meta-1.0.0.zip installed fine.

Weird. I'm getting the same error on my amazon fire tv and my laptop

metate's repo at Github now redirects to roee88. Maybe that's the problem.

Tried entering the link in file manager and manually downloading from there, but both fail to install

Can I just manually unzip and move the plugin to kodi?

Probably but you won't get any changes if there are any.
It hasn't changed in 8 months and it still works fine as long as you can get or make the Players for it.

If it breaks too much I'll have to make a version of Meta and add it to my repo.

Just download the repo and Install from Zip.

version 0.0.301
- Program Categories button in CatBar skin

There is now a button in the CatBar skin to bring up the Program Categories list.

Unless you have worked in the code of gui.py you won't realise how tricky that was to add one simple little button to the main epg.

I added a few new teletext buttons to the 4 Search types.
You can add them into a skin with a button and an onclick action like:

Code:

<onclick>Red</onclick>

Code:

"PROGRAM_SEARCH": ["ACTION_TELETEXT_BLUE"],
"DESCRIPTION_SEARCH": ["ACTION_TELETEXT_GREEN"],
"CATEGORY_SEARCH": ["ACTION_TELETEXT_RED"],
"CHANNEL_SEARCH": ["ACTION_TELETEXT_YELLOW"],

Tried that and it fails to install

Can you install the Meta addon from the zip directly?

Has anything changed when selecting categories in the epg?
It doesn't seem to be changing to the selected category

There are lots of new ways of getting to the categories.
Which way are you trying to do it?

[gillmacca]

I have keymapped 'c' to bring up the categories, which works, but when I select a category, the epg doesn't change

Are you sure there are channels in the category you selected?
To make sure have a look at the categories file:
userdata\addon_data\script.tvguide.fullscreen\categories.ini
and make sure the names match the channels in:
userdata\addon_data\script.tvguide.fullscreen\channels.ini

Have you done any remapping of the channel names to numbers?
Look in here for any of the first values that are not "null":
userdata\addon_data\script.tvguide.fullscreen\channel_shortcuts.json

[gillmacca]

Categories work if I go through the menu, just not via the epg.
I will take a look at the channel_shortcuts.json
